Hi everybody,
I want to demonstrate the distribution of a three-variable function with color in a volume. For example, suppose that we have T (temperature) as a function of x, y, and z in a cube.
Does MATLAB have a proper command to do this? I need something like imagesc, but in 3D. Exactly like HFSS (electromagnetic software) when it shows the distribution of fields in volumes.
Any help and reply is appreciated.

MATLAB's 3D volume visualization is very primitive. You are pretty much limited to cut-away views and isosurfaces. If that's all you want (no transparency and ability to see inside the volume), then you're fine. For true volume visualization you need to use a product built for that, such as Avizo http://www.vsg3d.com/avizo/overview

Thank you for your reply.
Is it linked with MATLAB?
I should transfer a 3-D matrix into the software and it shows the plot? I need a fast procedure that each time as I run my code, it shows the results so that I can check them.
